Okay.

The Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services notes that sexual assault has a very low reporting rate and that 97% of assaults are apparently never reported to the police.

Has the RCMP looked at why women who are victims of assault do not report to the police?

What changes or reforms do you think could be made to improve these statistics? Have you looked at why the reporting rate is still so low?
